The First and Only "Killer Pool" League
NYC's first pool league where amateurs can beat the pros. Pocket any ball and stay alive. Miss, and you're one step closer to elimination. Slop counts.
"Pool has always been about the hustle, the drama, the crowd around the table. STK brings that back."
Founded by Neille Caroline, NYC's "Night Mayor" entrusted with Efren "The Magician" Reyes' road cue as he elevated the game to reach GOAT status, Shoot to Kill is the city's first pool league where the amateur shooting after work has the same chance to win as someone who's been playing for 20 years.
Our tiered handicap system levels the playing field. Beginners get five strikes. Pros play one-handed or must bank their shot. The format is simple: pocket any ball and stay alive. Miss, and you're one step closer to elimination. Slop counts.
Unlike traditional leagues plagued by slow play and bureaucracy, STK games move fast — one shot per turn, three rounds per night, real-time scoring through our custom mobile app. This is pool for people who actually want to have fun.
Rosters up to 20 players, 10 vs 10 each match night. A rotating social dynamic that transforms league night into your regular hangout. Build your roster, strategize your lineup, compete for the championship.
Start earning your way to the One Million Dollar Prize Pool this season. Flash Cash nights, exclusive merchandise, private lessons, and invitations to the big show. Show up, get paid — your payout scales with attendance.
"When i call 'rack em', the city answers."
— Neille Caroline, The Night Mayor
